Human control characteristics in bilateral micro-teleoperation system

The micromanipulator is an indispensable device used to assist high precision tasks required in microsurgery and microassembly. However, in order to manipulate micro objects it is inevitable to consider the scaling effect problem between worlds with different physical characteristics. Some scaling methods have been proposed, but how they influence human operator performance is still a remaining problem. In this paper, the performance of the human operator is analyzed based on his/her dynamic characteristics.
